Yes, I want to support the new baby giraffe!

We are excited to announce the unexpected arrival of a beautiful baby girl reticulated giraffe at the Maryland Zoo! Born in the early morning of Thursday, March 27, 2025, the calf is the firstborn of Kipi, who joined us in November of last year. The baby giraffe was quickly on her feet and has been nursing well. Ongoing veterinary exams show she’s hitting key milestones, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her progress. While the baby's arrival is an exciting moment for our Zoo, the unexpected nature of her birth has generated some unbudgeted expenses. Please consider making a donation to the Zoo this spring in honor of our surprise bundle of joy. Your support will help ensure that both mom and baby receive the care they need during this crucial time. Between April 11th and April 24th, each $100 donation made earns the donor a chance to name the new baby giraffe!The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Tax ID# 52-0996352.
